Product introduction

Prometus 25 Tablet PR is also used to relieve the symptoms caused by an overactive thyroid gland. It may be prescribed alone or together with other medications. The dose and frequency depend on what you are taking it for and the severity of your condition. It may be taken on an empty stomach or with a meal, but take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. It may take several weeks before you get the full benefit of this medicine, and you may need to take it for the rest of your life. However, it is important to continue taking it even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel ill, and if you stop taking it, your condition may worsen.

Common side effects of Prometus 25 Tablet PR include low blood pressure (hypotension), slow heart rate, headache, dizziness, and nausea. These are usually mild and short-lived. It may also cause shortness of breath or rash in some people. To reduce the risk of side effects, your doctor may start the medicine at a low dose and gradually increase it. Consult your doctor if the side effects bother you or do not go away.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver problems. It may also not be suitable for people who have a slow heart rate, severe circulation problems, severe heart failure, or low blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before taking it. You must talk to your doctor to find out whether this medicine is suitable for you to use. You should have your blood pressure checked regularly to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Avoid drinking alcohol, as it may increase certain side effects.

Benefits of Prometus Tablet PR

Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

This makes it less likely that you will suffer chest pain caused by angina. This medicine can help increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily by reducing the frequency of angina attacks. You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.

Treatment of Arrhythmia
